Shriver Hall Auditorium, the largest performance and lecture space on the Johns Hopkins University’s Homewood campus, will close for renovations this fall.

According to the Hopkins Hub, the auditorium will close Sept. 5 and is projected to reopen Jan. 15, 2018. Other areas of the building, including the Clipper Room and the Shriver Hall board room, will remain available for scheduling while work on the auditorium is underway.

Built in 1954 at the south end of the Wyman Quadrangle, Shriver currently seats nearly 1,100 people and is the home of the Shriver Hall Concert Series and other musical programs. The Hopkins Symphony Orchestra performs there. It also provides a setting for the Milton S. Eisenhower Symposium and other talks and lectures that have brought Nobel Prize winners, former presidential candidates and other dignitaries to Baltimore.
